Metacarpal neck fractures are common injuries, especially among young, active individuals. These breaks often occur during sports, fights, or accidents. When these fractures need surgery, doctors have two main options: retrograde intramedullary screw (IMS) fixation and closed reduction percutaneous
Frailty plays a key role in how patients recover after operations. It’s the responsibility of those in charge of care to check on the elderly who are going in for surgery.
